TheoLeo: what's happening when you try to save? I'll be in #galciv until 7 or so if you want to do some troubleshooting.

Nice list... I can't wait to try it out. :)

I particularly like the fact that you can no longer trade for techs if you don't meet the alignment req's. I was wondering though, does this apply to techs gained through espionage and conquest as well?

Hey, I thought the company line on this was "it's supposed to be that way because you can't embargo a civ unless you first break the alliance." ;)

Hey, you didn't mention that your money is now updated correctly at the beginning of each turn. :)

I don't know if it was just my playing style that game, but I made A LOT of money with 1.19. A lot more than I usually do.

Switching off the minors was not in yet. But it will be in AP, right?

I just ask because the Carinoids are the biggest empire in the game I just started and only me and the Torians have a comparable size... :notsure:

First off, allow me to say thank you for all the work. Thank you! :D

I do think that I found a minor bug. In two, out of several I have started since dl'ing the update, the survey ship on auto-survey does not auto-survey. Even with freeform gas just two parsecs away, it just sits there. Is there a known reason for this behavior?

Thanks, again.

Hi Lord J
do you have any other survey ship on route to this anomaly? This would prevent your other survey ships to go after it, too.

Umm, no.  I didn't think of that, and that would be kind of unrealistic.  But you shouldn't be able to build ships that use those techs.

Yeah, the only explanation that I can think of is that you had another survey ship heading for it.   Do you have a save game that can reproduce it?

i think that you should be able to trade for techs reardless of alignment requirements, it makes more sense within the context of the game. hyper warp could only be researched because good civs dont kill the weak, but there is nothing in the tech itself that has alignment value. russia and the us shared technology in WWII, and they awere on opposite sides of the fence. just seems artificial.

I agree... but then what better way to get illiscit techs than gaining them through espionage... you can still get them that way can't you ??? {Gulp} I hope I still can...

I think that hyper warp is an exception. Will good civilisation use a tech that is know to injure people taht are using it? or that control mind ...

--fixed the invisible ship bug

Is this the bug that caused ships to randomly disappear and you had to reload a saved game to fix it? I remember you said the bug would be too hard to fix because it was deep in the database.

Can anyone tell me how to increase my logistics score? After building a few starbases, it starts getting too expensive to build more. I have to choose between going for resources or building up production in my sectors. >:(

Yeah, I'm having the same problem too. It kind of makes expansion impossible if you use a huge galaxy with tight clusters. Especially if Earth is in a small remote cluster. You just can't go anywhere until you research propulsion to death, and hope there's a colonizeable planet left out there for you. It really wrecks things quickly.

In my current game, I'm good (100) and my spies just stole the slavery tech (forgot the exact name) :SURPRISED:. I guess we were just curius ;)
